Dove tattoos in Chinese culture are used as a symbol of a long and healthy life.

Wrist tattoos make an eye-catching statement. What better place for your first tattoo? This placement provides you the daily opportunity to actually see your design, something that is often missed when first tattoos are placed in less visible areas.

Because of this, it's so important that you choose a well thought tattoo, and really take your time finding the right artist for the work ahead.

From greetings and handshakes to future jewelry selection, your tattoo will play a hefty role in your appearance. A wrist tattoo can also be questionable in the workplace.

Lower-back tattoos (pejoratively referred to as tramp stamps) are a form of body art that became popular among women in the 2000s and gained a reputation as a feminine type of tattoo. They are sometimes accentuated by low-rise jeans and crop tops, and are considered erotic by some.

Although historically in the Western world men have comprised the majority of tattoo recipients, in the early 1990s, the practice gained popularity among women. In the early to mid-twentieth century, women with tattoos were heavily stigmatized, and were rarely found in middle-class society. Lower-back tattoos were popularized in the early 2000s, in part owing to the influence of female celebrities, including Britney Spears, Christina Ricci, and Pamela Anderson. The popularity of low-rise jeans and crop tops may have also spurred the increase in lower-back tattoos. Another appeal of tattooing the lower back is that there is little fat there, lessening the chance that images will become misshapen over time. Also, the lower back is often concealed, providing women the choice of when to reveal their tattoo. Although some males have lower-back tattoos, including some celebrities; they are generally not worn by men.

Women's lower backs are often viewed by people as an erotic body part, leading to the association of lower-back tattoos with sexuality. Lower-back tattoos are also perceived as an indication of promiscuity by some, possibly owing to media portrayals of women with tattoos. A 2011 study of media stereotypes criticized media portrayals of lower-back tattoos, arguing that they are unfairly cast as a symbol of promiscuity. There are a number of pejorative nicknames for lower-back tattoos, including "tramp stamp", "bulls-eye", and "target". A Saturday Night Live sketch satirized the practice, describing a "rub-on" tattoo remover marketed at middle-age women who received lower-back tattoos while young.
